5The tour guide was easy...
The tour guide was easy to find at the pick up point. Demonstrations the day of our tour did delay things a little and created extra work for our guide but she just took things in stride and made the experience very enjoyable.
3Good, but could have been better.
Our issue with the entire event was the lack of wine tastings. For a French wine tasting tour, we felt, and I believe all 6 of us agreed, that we wanted more of a wine experience and less of a St Emilion history review. My suggestion is to add one other vineyard or a tasting within St Emilion. Guy was quite a good guide. He was pleasant and polite and extremely knowledgeable. Lastly, the van was quite warm in the last row, even during the longer drives, it did not seem to cool down in the last row. Perhaps try and start the van a while before the passengers board?
5Ugo our guide was...
Ugo our guide was phenomenal, informative and very witty the tour was fantastic the wine delicious the town spectacular
5Great experience
Pretty town and a great visit to a small pretty vineyard. Our guide, Hugo, was fun and knowledgable. He read the group dynamics well and delivered his information accordingly.
5Superb half-day experience
A super half-day experience and well worth doing it, enhanced by Guy our brilliant guide. Highly recommended.
5Great small group experience.

About Bordeaux
Bordeaux, on the Garonne in south-west France, is a stone-fronted port city and the centre of one of the world's great wine regions.
The pale limestone façades of the eighteenth century give Bordeaux an elegant, even look, and the curve of the Garonne, the Port of the Moon, is part of its UNESCO listing. Place de la Bourse faces the river, and the Miroir d'eau, a shallow reflecting pool, mirrors it. The Grand Théâtre, Saint-André Cathedral with its separate Pey-Berland tower, and the long pedestrian Rue Sainte-Catherine make up the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Bordeaux: Place de la Bourse (Place Royale), Porte Cailhau, Grosse Cloche.
